A Brockton man facing his 9th drunken driving charge has an 11-page record with the Registry of Motor Vehicles, including multiple OUI arrests and permanent license revocation.

William D. Doten, 65, of Westland Street was held without bail after his bedside arraignment Monday in Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital before a Stoughton District Court judge. Doten was arrested in Avon Thursday around 10 p.m. and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, possession of an open container of alcohol and driving with a revoked driver’s license.

Avon police had said earlier the charge from his arrest on Thursday was Doten's 8th OUI. But according to his 11-page Registry of Motor Vehicles record, the new charge is his ninth for drunken driving. Doten has eight earlier drunk driving findings, according to the RMV record, plus one for operating under the influence of drugs, dating back to 1977 in such communities as Brockton, Whitman, Abington, Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, Raynham and Barnstable. His license was revoked for life.

The official charges he faces now are OUI (5th and subsequent), and operating a motor vehicle after license suspension. Doten, who sat in a wheelchair and used a hospital blanket to cover most of his face, pleaded not guilty.

Judge Richard Savignano, who traveled from Stoughton District Court to oversee the arraignment, ordered Dotenheld without bail until Jan. 23, when he will appear for a dangerousness hearing at Stoughton District Court.

The arraignment was delayed when hospital officials attempted to block The Enterprise and other media outlets from covering the event. Even though hospital grounds are considered private, such a legal proceeding must be open to the public, unless the presiding judge cites a reason why it can’t be.

No such reasons were given in Doten’s case, and The Enterprise requested the hearing be delayed until the hospital allowed access. Judge Savignano allowed the newspaper’s request, and met with hospital officials, who eventually allowed the media coverage.

Doten has been hospitalized since his arrest Thursday, Avon Police Chief Warren Phillips. His condition was not immediately available.
